D Correct answer
Explanation

A novelist is specifically a writer of novels, which matches the description perfectly. A poet writes poetry, a dramatist writes plays, and 'author' is a broader term that could include non-fiction writers. Since the wife specifically writes novels, 'novelist' is the most precise and appropriate term among the options.
